  1. Usually, the policy holder is compensated by their own insurance company. If you're hit you file a claim with your insurance company only (with pictures, police report & any evidence). Any payment would come through your own insurance company depending on whether the claim was approved or not.
  2. I like a man who knows how to stroke and is at the top of his craft. It's a skill learned and honed over years and decades. If you want a job done right and all that. A man knows what he needs and he has plenty of them. If you need a job done and can't be bothered hiring help each time, ahelping hand is only a foot away. It's time to get to work.
  3. Dogs would pick that right up in luggage claim. Not sure what this guy was thinking.

  5. Don't deaf people do it? Sometimes there is even a court appointed translator.
  6. Are you otherwise covered, or will be going without insurance?
  7. It's a speech translator, not AI. The judge won't argue for one side, but they will need to render a decision, not the lawyers. If one side does not fulfill their end of the contract they would need to prove why with their argument, not just state why. Usually, what's in writing and signed carries more weight if it's well written then verbal arguments. In fact, in many cases it's better to just remain silent and let the contract speak for itself. Unless, it was some super good lawyer whose argument overrided the contract language.
  8. I'm not sure it needs to for a contractual dispute. I'm thinking it would be more like just handing over the contract and the judge takes it from there requiring proof of payment or hearing a defense against it.
  9. Can a foreigner file a small claims court case on their own in Thailand and address the court, or is it required to hire a lawyer? Language would not be an issue. There would be a digital interpreter for text and spoken language. Is it possible to apply at the courthouse like someone would do in the USA?
  10. Another great argument for not relying on tourism!
  11. Looks more like a prison then an apartment.
  12. When I lived rural I thought it was "easier" to live alone. Not 100%, I still needed food and water, vehicle repairs, etc, but it was once now and again traveling into town and a short transaction. Notably, all these social apps and messages on the phone were absent as well. I had a phone but it was just for calls and texts. That's a constant distraction for attention that I think leads to the type rushing and confusion I'm referring to. The social aspect of people being able to distract you with messages on these apps at any time.
  13. What difference does it make what other's are doing? Nobody likes being in debt.
  14. Like the Big C food court?
  15. How about the moto taxi guys. I have seen them take leaks, but not that often. Out in the heat drinking water all day they must be going somewhere. Seems like the whole town would reek of piss as there are no facilities.
  16. Another part of it is fluid interpersonal boundries. Someone else's problem becomes their problem relatively easily and vise versa. I see this all over, most obviously with money issues. It's like problems are never truly owned, but deflected off onto other people and situations. It's not strictly an Asian thing. Happens all over. It's extremely common in crowded and stressful environments (or situations where people are broke with financial difficulties). Can be seen strongly in prison settings. People can't "own" their situation and difficulties, so they find the nearest target. Strangely, the perfect target always seems to appear and make themselves available at just the right time. Perhaps starts with just a telling of their problems then gradually a target strangely "absorbs" someone else's problem, thereby granting the projector a degree of relief. This results in a confused and impatient mind because the target is trying to deal with irritants they are not able to screen out for some reason. It also suggest rushing because there is "too much on their plate" (they may be trying to solve someone else's problems, not just their own). Group therapy regarding boundries can restore a calm and collected mindset as the individual learns to set boundries regarding other people problems and the absorbtion of negative interpersonal energy.
  17. I was not impressed by the 16. When I viewed it, it was practically the same size as the older model I have. For me, it was not worth getting.
  18. When I first came to Thailand some scumbag had a table set up inside a wat near the enterance to get people to transport to a jewelry shop. He was acting like he was part of the monestary so you would listen to his scam. I wish the monks had done something about this. They should not be allowed to solicit inside the temple grounds. I still remember the guy wearing all this jewelry and the stupid smug grin he had.
  19. I haved lived here over 10 years. This is where I developed my theory about it, along with other Asian countries including Vietnam. Are you not seeing rushing & impatience where you are? Don't mistake not getting things done and laziness for patience. They are very different. Someone can move slowly, but still have a rushed, cluttered & inpatient mind.
